Li . ^PlSCXLLANY. I irraa, WaoCT Haaiakok! Ma(ktlaa.| A. Word and <t lllow. I. Bv En. MA XT B. MILLKIl. Two Utile boya were JiUying In a park, one warm afternonn In apring. They were vrty happy. Almoat anybody, young or old, would hare been • bapjiy in haring an boar to a|iend - In '(hat beautilul place. There were - none* with babtea in their arms, and r other ndraea, "with babies in dainty * carrlagca, going up and down the ' [ graTcl walks ; and other little tottUng j > babica playing around the funnuin. . i High In the treo-topa, over their beada. . | the busy birds were building their nests, and ringing cheerily. Theae tare Uttle boya Ured uenr each r other, in plouant homes, not far from the park -galea. They, too, had first come here In nurses' arms: in long, . white cloaks and cunning capa, and played here, and almoat hclierod them- , selves to bo brothers. Robert Dunning was the name of the blackcyod boy. Ho had crisp, cur- I ly black hair, and was a aenosi . boy, i hU mother said. / think hU mother , a Utile nervous. She was not very I strong, and often hada headache, when she could not endure any nolee in the I house; ao when Rob came whietllng in I from school, be ooukl not stay in her i room, tor his shoes muU squeak, and ■ every plaything he had was a noisy i So be was sent, or coaled, to > claon hero— down to the kitchen t usually, where he teased the maid j and c plagued the cook, till she would |hire with some of her cakes or tarts, a "to be of with himaclf.'' Now "hitn- c self" was a playfellow bo cans! little c abouL So It liappcucd that, with' or ) without Ills mother's consent, he was > often in tlie street, when- he fiun, I rndo boys, and leaned viA- 1 tri.'ka and word, that he would lisviXt ashamed to use before Frank ' r Gray, hU Utile companion; lor Frank n was very gentle and good. t>ut of g school, be had another playmate than Rob, a darling alater, Grace. She was o ready to spring Into Frank's arms, •' when lie came home from school; then a wonderful frolics ensued. 1 Grace was beginning to study with her mamtea; she could apeU abort ° words, and print love-tettrre with a ' great deal of help, to go with mam- n ma 'a and Frank's letters, to her dear r who was away in the array, j h s ray story begins in war-time, hut 1

the sadness in it was not caused by I ■word or cannon, as you shall ace. This particular, charming day in "• May, Mrs. Gray had been downtown. J shopping, taking Gram with her, and i the pet was almost too tired to play ' when Frank came home. But a he had '■ , some "goodies" to share with him, > and mamma's purchases to show him • —It seaside hat. and plaid atoeking» ' and stoat shoes for the little maid to I wear la that blesaed time, wlicn jstpa . should come home, and take them all I into the country. The mere mention I of that, set both young lifoda to plan- I nlng, and loosened both tonguea to tell ' •what they should do, then and there. 1 Their chattering was slopped by Roh I coming in and begging for Frank's soil cicty UU tra-Uioc for a game of hall hi > the park. Mamma and Grace con- i sen ted. and sat down to write one of I • ithoir letters; while aaray. laughing 1 ' and shouting, went the hoys, as man- , i ly, merry hula aa any man met that . i ! day. ■» "I say. Boh." said Fiauk, aa they " crossed to the park, "my mother took i Graele, to-day, down .in WeaieyAUey, 1 where this old Aunty Bates Urea, to j I see hoc alck granddaughter, and the!'' '• moan was n poor, and the little girl ' m sick! Just think of it! lying there alone all day, while bcr 'Granny,' aa > i she calls her. la teodiug her stand here i ' on the park sidewalk. Mamma says 1 we must ask .the boys in school Li : spend the pennies at her stand. 1 hare tan cents for her now, or rather : 1 for her oranges." 1 • A smile lighted up the face or the • feeble old woman, as the boy. halted ' ■ before fo r. WcII dhl she know trail- ' ! _ ing Frank, who often brought her n basket of wholesome food, on his way ' . to aeboo', which waa his good moth- 1 rr'a way of tmehlng him charity. "Why Aunty," said Holi, "your; orange* are piled op Hk« the caiwouballa at the Fort— they are bigger and j i. brighter, eo I think!" J ' "Wall, young Matter," exclaimed | 1 ( aha, "yon are thia morning, sariy. | ' . i when I waa setting my stand, a poor j 1 soldier can* along on crutches, look- ' Ing ao faint aod thirsty-like that 1 dak- - ed him taatnpa bit, and rest (br (the : 1 - sake of my boy that's a soldier. do you bcUerr, he knew Jim!

"Dirty old thing!" cried Rob, sulkily, "I wont have It, give mo this; if yon don't like the other, yon can eat g. Grade s; thia la mine, Taay!" and he tried to snatch It. Then, as Frank :n drew away, he raised his foot and id kicked him. where, he did not eoe nor r« think, till Frank (Ul down, dropping d the mlsprable orange, by thia time soft y nnd warm from ao much handling, ie ' and away U rolled, unheeded, g | Aa quickly as the Utile tempest of I. j jtaasiou had arisen, so quickly it died, v , ; Rob helped Us ploy fellow upon hi.

When they saw Mrs. Gray, c waa he who told tho story; taking i J all the blame, and showing anch grief, ^ that ahc and Frank tried to hide their own feelings, to soothe him. b "A bruise above the hip, is all t ■? >sxy said Mrs. Gray, examining the y child.

He suffered very . much for several weeks; then the limb J contracted— drew up, until It waa shorter than the other; and after weeks of treatment from the doctor*, and pa- " tiool endurance on Frank's part. It re- ' maiord the same. Frank was truly 0 a hero then, m his Briber was In bat- * tie. Ho bad made many friends among 1 tlie invalids aod. gnests In house, and ° the doctors loved him. IJe said he ' could not help bring happy when he had papa and mamma oil the - while 0 b— ide him, aod Grace, who waa quite 0 womanly In her way of taking —re of Octolier found Ibciu al home again, B Frank walking easily with a crotch, * and rarely having much pain. A Robert Dunning waa oreijoya! to T have them back again, aod the fricntl4 ship of tho two hoys waa lovely to bce hold. Mr*. Gray over beard them * talking one day: e "The summer has seemed owfeUy long without you, "said Fob. "When n I wo* at Long Branch, I just wis ho) >- for you every minute. , The a— was il so vf—dirf, Frank, and the beach— a j oh. how you would love tho beach!

" It would have been nios to try, said indent Frank; "I got tired of my at Clifton. But, Rob, your letwere m good! Mamma said they always came al the right time, when couldn't sleep, or had a blister to make me cross, or some tout medicine take." " And yea r letters, Frankie were than eogar-pluraa for me. Sue I'm toying to bo good, — e"y, now-oolaya. Whenever I fori myself getting spunky, I think about you , and generally cry a little, aud the spunk go— all away." "Is that eo?" asked Frank, —ger- . ly; ' then, Bobbie, be sure I don't can { thing about bring Iaok. Mamma lias said perhaps^ should be a more pa1 tient boy tor having such a trail; but if going to makoyeu such a good boy, why. I'm sore it was nil right that happened. Now, Jell meallabont fellows in school." This Rob proceeded to do, while Mrs. Gray walked away, wiping her eyes, yet smiling. Tho winter passed quietly. Frank did not go to school; for although comhe was not strong, hot he studied regularly at home and loved Ins mother's leaching better than any He rarely missed going to Monday School, where his perfect lessons and bniutiful voice in singing were hit I— cher's delight.
